Finding Your Fit: A Kid-to-Kid Guide to Fitness, Food, and Feelings

The story line of Finding Your Fit is engaging and defines basic terminology in a way that is easy to comprehend for children. Children identify with the main character Gabby, as she learns to live a healthy lifestyle and develop positive self-esteem. Woven through the story are talking points and reflective journaling writing opportunities where children can express their thoughts and emotions, while parents can keep gather valuable information through this form of communication. Finding Your Fit opens the lines of communication and support that children are often lacking as they begin to develop self-esteem and identity. Bibliotherapy (using books to assist in problem solving relevant to the therapeutic process) is a valuable intervention for helping children cope with stressors and can provide structured communication between caregivers and children.

 

Finding Your Fit is a valuable resource for families, therapists, school personnel, and other professionals who work with children on the topics of fitness, nutrition, and development of positive self-esteem and acceptance.

The reviews are in…

  • "I love that Finding Your Fit . . . help[s] to facilitate a dynamic early on between parent and child where the link between nutrition, fitness and self-esteem is discussed. . . this will then help to increase the likelihood that the child would feel comfortable bringing up these subjects with their parents again in the future . . . It also gives parents the chance to notice if maybe their child has started to develop some unhealthy beliefs about one of those areas and to potentially re-direct those beliefs before they set in at a deeper level . . . [I]t is wonderful that this book brings up that concept with kids at a younger age."

  • "This book is a great place to start for any child that is beginning to become interested in what it means to be healthy. It is also a great tool for any parent who wants to help their child form lifelong healthy habits. It opens the doors for some great discussion between parents and children around many important issues that often go ignored. I'd recommend this book to all of my younger patients and their families!"
